kinetic translucent discs form vincent leroy’s chromatic cloud installation in beijing

Point Cloud turns a public plaza into a kinetic color field

A vibrant cloud of color drifts through the air in Vincent Leroy’s Point Cloud, transforming Beijing’s Taikoo Li Sanlitun into a chromatic and kinetic environment. Presented as part of the 2026 Fashion Festival, the monumental installation unfolds as a floating constellation of translucent discs animated by wind, light, and movement. Shades of electric blue, violet, pink, and red ripple continuously through the work as each element rotates independently with the slightest air current. Suspended above the plaza like an airborne flight of petals, the installation constantly shifts between density and transparency, forming ever-changing compositions in the sky. The work explores color as a living and atmospheric phenomenon.

Vincent Leroy’s composition combines color, air, and motion

Individual elements move independently within the space, continuously converging, dispersing, and recomposing themselves through subtle variations of air and motion. From a distance, the installation appears as a vibrant floating mass, while closer views reveal a delicate choreography of reflections, transparencies, and movement. As sunlight filters through the translucent surfaces, the installation projects vibrant chromatic shadows across the ground below, extending the work beyond its physical form. Throughout the day, reflections, colors, and movement continuously evolve, turning Point Cloud by French artist Vincent Leroy into a living atmospheric composition shaped by air, light, and time.
